Actress Lee Si Young and her husband, restaurateur Mr. Jo, are currently in the midst of divorce proceedings, as reported by YTN on the 17th. They have submitted the necessary documents to the Seoul Family Court earlier this year, with the main terms of the divorce already agreed upon. However, the finalization of the details is still ongoing.
Lee Si Young tied the knot with Mr. Jo, who is nine years older than her, in 2017 during the peak of her acting career. Their marriage attracted considerable attention, especially due to Mr. Jo's thriving restaurant business, where he earned the nickname "Little Baek Jong Won" for his continuous growth. The couple welcomed a son the following year.
Despite sharing glimpses of their happy family life on various popular variety shows like I Live Alone and Point of Omniscient Interfere, after eight years together, Lee Si Young and Mr. Jo have made the decision to go their separate ways.
Lee Si Young, who made her debut in 2008, rose to fame through projects like Boys Over Flowers and We Got Married. Renowned for her vivacious and athletic persona, she even delved into boxing for a role and emerged victorious in an amateur boxing tournament.
Most recently, Lee Si Young has appeared in seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix hit series Sweet Home, where she portrayed Seo I Kyung, a tough special forces firefighter, showcasing her skills in intense action scenes that garnered critical acclaim.
